GOING CROSS-CULTURE & COLLAGE

Focus shifts in 1996. Invitations come to share art quilts before diverse audiences in far-flung places, often in faith based venues. Back in the studio quilt designing progresses, begin making giclee prints of most popular quilts, create magazine illustration commissions in fabric art, and play with painted paper and fabric collage. selected listings
